· when you constantly get interrupted by someone·
That is the only one of your list which definitely results in blunderfull blitz/bullet for me. As soon as someone asks me something during a bullet or blitz game I will blunder a queen, or overlook mate in one, at the first opportunity.
The others I am not sure about, having to pee actually seems to make me a bit sharper than I am on average.
I got so mad I wanted to crash my smartphone. Luckily, I grabbed an apple instead and threw It and watch it got smashed all over the floor while yelling and cursing like tennis players John Mcenroe or Goran Ivanisevic used to.
What happened was I lost several blitz games in a row after making stupid blunders like dropping pieces as it was blunder festival contest or failing to see I can get mated in 1 or 2 all the freaking time. All this happened while night before I really played good and enjoyed the level of play I offered.
What happened over one night? Did I just wake up in the morning more stupid than I was the day before or what? This happens all the time, at times I play great, and at other times I play horrible.
There is no problem if I get outplayed by opponent while I feel I played a good game, but when I start playing like retard it really gets me furious. What also bothers me is that I can’t predict how good a blitz session is going to be. Why can’t it be in chess like it is in some physical sport like basketball where you can tell in advance how good you will play by how fresh and physically good you feel prior to playing a game?
What do I need, some ritual or lucky rabbit foot or what to keep my game straight??
In other to keep down from frustrations and loosing streaks I try to apply some rules on myself but emphasize is on the word try of course. I don’t have much discipline obviously J
CroIggy – please, please, pleeeeasssseee DO NOT play chess in following cases:
· after or during an argument with a spouse.
· when you are sleepy
· when you are thinking about some problem from work
· when you have to go to bathroom
· when you constantly get interrupted by someone
· when you feel depressed or sad
· when you are in too cold or in too hot place
· when something else distracts you like weird smell or something
· when you have tight schedule and are in a hurry for some reason or you are expecting someone
· when for whatever reason you are not in complete calm or zen like state
· when you don’t complete pre session voodoo ritual that will make evil spirits of bad chess playing away J
